Police have recorded detailed statements of two suspects involved in the murder of a labourer in Malir City area. The arrested accused Muhammad Saeed is an eighth grade and Fazil Ali is a ninth-grade student.

The suspects disclosed in their statements that their fugitive accomplice Muhammad Ismail had matriculated while Muhammad Ali was pursuing his matriculation. Fazil Ali said, "We are four friends and at the time of the incident, Ismail was waving his weapon on a motorcycle while making a TikTok video with his mobile phone when the pistol accidently went off.

As a result, Qamar Raza sustained a bullet and died. We got scared and ran home and did not tell anyone about it." The suspect further told the police that he had found a 30-bore pistol in his house. "I was looking for some documents in my house that I found a pistol kept under the documents.

I told my friends about it and they asked me to bring it," he said.
